    Place is nice and clean. Decorations look nice lots of windows you can see all around. Service always great Mel and Luis super nice and helpful. Tables are clean I can see Mel wiping the table clean as I write this review. We got #1 combo all 4 tacos asada, #2 combo fish breaded and shrimp breaded tacos and a shrimp ceviches. My family likes the food. My wife puts tapatio I like the house red sauces gives some heat and smokey flavor combined with citrus lime and the roasted yellow people soo good. We also got the pineapple and horchata drink. Thanks Mel and Luis! Have a nice day!

    First time visiting this establishment and we looked forward to trying the food as we were impressed with the reviews. Well, we were not disappointed! As we walked in and approached the counter both employees smiled and welcomed us and Louis immediately explained the specials of the day. My wife ordered the special which was the shrimp tacos, but made it a combo and an Ice tea. I ordered the Diablo Burrito with Carnitas and also an ice tea. We sat down and our number was called about 10 minutes later that our food was ready. When I went to retrieve it, one of the employees offered to assist in bring one plate to our table and that was really helpful. Extra squeeze bottles of sauce were also provided at our table if desired. On the TV they had the FIFA soccer games on, but it wasn't too loud that you could have a conversation. By the way, both of us thought the food was outstanding! In fact, it didn't feel like a fast food restaurant, it was more like a four star sit down venue with excellent service and quality fresh food. The place was spotless and employees took pride in their jobs because they were constantly out checking tables and the floor to ensure it was ready for the next customer. We will definitely be back!

    We often go to La Bufadora in Murrieta. It's nice there's one closer to home, annnnnddd it's much larger than Murrieta location. You can sit down with a little space to enjoy your lunch! Bonus there's a drive thru too!! Food was great, we had the Baja fish tacos, shrimp tacos, asada tacos, and French fries. My daughter always enjoys the fries! The staff were nice and food was ready pretty quick! We will be back at least 1x a month!

    First time trying this restaurant, and it was a great experience! I love finding restaurants tucked…read moreaway in shopping plazas--they always seem to impress me more than I expect. We arrived right when they opened at 3 PM on a Saturday. The hostess was sweet and quickly showed us to our table. As soon as we walked in, I noticed the paintings on the walls--they were beautiful and really added to the atmosphere. If you want to learn some history behind the restaurant ask Tiffany for the story behind the paintings :) We started with a couple of drinks, and they were delicious. I ordered a Bloody Maria (basically a Bloody Mary made with tequila), and it was really good. For an appetizer, we got the Grilled Corn Ribs, and wow--they were so tasty. We couldn't stop talking about how good they were. For our entrées, we ordered the Double Stacked Cheeseburger and the Cavatelli pasta. I really enjoyed the pasta. The flavor was delicious, and while the noodles were a bit thicker than I expected, it was still a great dish. My partner wasn't the biggest fan of the burger because of the Southwestern pimento cheese, but the fries were excellent! I tried the burger myself and honestly thought it was still pretty good. It was also my partners birthday so they brought a cute little dessert! Overall, we had a great experience. Our waiter, Jose, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. We'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu.

    A $25 cake-cutting fee shouldn't have overshadowed our son's birthday, but the way it was handled…read moredid. We've been coming here for years. It has been our go-to steakhouse, and we've even celebrated our anniversary here. We love the food, which makes what happened during our son's birthday dinner especially disappointing. After an excellent steak dinner that cost approximately $330, we brought out a small, pre-sliced ice cream Polar Pizza for our son's birthday. I began serving it myself because it was already sliced. The waitress then came over and, in a confrontational manner, announced that we would be charged a $25 cake-cutting fee. The fee may have previously been mentioned to my wife, but I was not aware of it when I began serving the cake. I understand that restaurants have policies, and a calm explanation would have been enough. Instead, the situation was turned into an unnecessary scene during our son's birthday celebration. Then another large male employee came over, stepped directly into my personal space, and angrily asked, "Would you bring beer into a bar?" He got right in my face without first asking what had happened or allowing me to explain. His tone and decision to get that close were aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. We ultimately paid the $25 fee even though the staff did not cut, plate, or serve the cake. The fee was frustrating, but the confrontational way the employees handled the situation was far worse. Families considering celebrating a child's birthday here should confirm every outside dessert policy beforehand. In our case, what should have been a joyful moment for our son became an upsetting experience. It did not leave us feeling as though families celebrating with children were welcomed or valued. A simple and respectful conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, their response changed the entire mood and ruined what should have been a special ending to our son's birthday dinner. The food may still be excellent, but a restaurant is remembered for more than its steaks. After years of loyalty, the aggressive and disrespectful way this was handled during our son's birthday has cost them our business. We will not be returning.

    5 Stars -- Absolutely Outstanding!…read more Gail and I just ate at Main Street Kitchen & Tap, and I honestly could not recommend this restaurant more highly. The food was OUTSTANDING. I had the ribs, and they were some of the most tender and juicy ribs I have ever eaten. The potato mix side dish was incredible--so much flavor--and even the coleslaw was exceptional. Gail had the burger and said it was fabulous. But what really completed the experience was the service. Our server took care of us like we were family. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It is rare that I leave a restaurant this impressed with everything--the food, the sides, and the service. We will absolutely be back. Five stars without hesitation!

    Pleasant find after the drive to San Diego county stretched into night and hanger crept over me. I…read morehad never visited Lake Elsinore, so this was a great excuse to cruise down Main St. of a small town freshly decorated for a festive Christmas season. Main Street Kitchen & Tap is perfectly situated across from a public parking lot, but we easily found parking at the curb out front. Tables outside looked inviting, but we were a bit chilly, so inside we popped. The brick and wood decor added to the cozy vibe and walls displayed historic photos of Old Lake Elsinore Main Street. Love that! After scanning the menu, I opted for the Whiskey Glazed Salmon with steamed broccoli and creamy garlic potatoes (which I read as mashed, but no, they're cubed). The salmon was cooked nicely and the whiskey sauce was tasty and light without being overly sweet. I think I would've preferred garlic mash potatoes, but ate a bit of the cubed ones to note they were fine. The steamed broccoli was done perfectly and NOT drowning in butter, which I greatly appreciated. Hubs was peckish, not as hungry as me and asked if he could get the kid's menu cheeseburger and fries for an upcharge. Nichelle, our friendly server, said, 'No problem, it's understood it's a smaller portion adults also like.' Great! It states that it comes with a free soda as part of the kid's menu, but Hubs had already ordered coffee, and I don't drink soda, so that was itemized along with the coffee charge, but we didn't mind because Hubs was getting exactly what he was craving. He proclaimed the cheeseburger and very soft, steamed bun as 'Yummy!' and the serving of fries 'just right.' All in all, MSKT was a delightful discovery and we would pop in again when returning to Lake Elsinore, which we will better plan for and make time to enjoy the shops along this quaint stretch. Cheers! "CC"
